Who We Are
Humble Beginnings
In 1966, our grandfather started Tri-County Power Sled; a Ski-Doo dealership during the snowmobile boom of the late 1960s. This was the local hotspot to get your sled tuned up and/or modified to beat anything else on the snow.
Changing Gears
As the snowmobile craze started to slow, the business was morphed into a professional grade machine shop in the 1980s. In this two-bay garage, anything and everything was built, modified, and improved. From the first VW dune buggies, to compound-turbo Cummins, to hi-powered Can-Ams, these were the icons that ran the streets in the local area.
Revival
With the passing of our grandfather in 2019, it was time to breathe new life into this once legendary place. A family effort of engineers, fabricators, and management has been transforming the shop day after day. New facilities, new equipment, yet the same incredible passion our grandfather had: the longing to improve and create dreams out of metal. Motorsports are in our blood, and we intend to keep it that way.
Motec electronics upgrade, turbo replacement, etc...
1986 Lancia Delta S4 - Group B
One of a kind. A brand new Group B rally car from 1986. This was a bespoke build from Girardo & Co. in 2021 from leftover spares. However on U.S. roads, with U.S. fuel, the old Italian car had some issues that needed addressing. We turned this diamond in the rough, into the fire breathing monster it once was.
Motec electronics upgrade, full car re-commission.
1991 Jaguar XJR15 #042
A beautiful, delivery-mileage XJR15 needed a full-car go through. With a car this clean, it isn't worth the risk of something going wrong after sitting for 30 years. The car was taken apart to the carbon tub and fully rebuilt.
12 valve Cummins Turbo Diesel Swap
1959 AMC Rambler | The Ramblur
A wild project. A 12-valve Cummins-swapped station wagon. 5-speed, custom frame, built rear end, custom interior, the works. A car like this needs every piece of it engineered and fabricated with precision.
